We Did
The following amendments to the order were approved following feedback:
1. The waiting restriction in Warsash Road car park increased to 4 hours with no return within 8 hour, to accommodate local allotment holders.
2. Waiting restrictions in both Swanwick Shore Road and Shore Road car parks were limited to 4 hours with no return within 8 hours, between 1 April and 31 September, to support local shops that were concerned about the availability of spaces.
